As the saying goes, "Watering takes ten years of skill." Whether a plant lives or dies comes down most of all to watering! And most flowers that die from watering do not die because they were watered too little, but because they were watered too much! Too much! Too much! Take the 20 flowers below, for instance - they basically all died at the hands of watering fanatics! Today I will introduce these five drought-loving, water-fearing plants, so from now on do not water them too eagerly.
Kalanchoe
Kalanchoe has a long blooming period and rich, vivid flower colors, carrying the meaning of great fortune and long life. Its leaves are dense and emerald green, and it blooms near the Christmas holiday, clustering into balls with abundant colors - a delightful indoor potted flower.
Aloe
Its thick leaves have a very strong water-storage capacity, so it does not need much watering - about 3 times a month is enough. It is also very cold-tolerant and easy to grow, an ornamental plant with both flowers and foliage that is quite popular with the public.
Money Tree
Money Tree is a plant many people keep, both for its auspicious meaning and for its evergreen appearance all year round, which makes everyone love it very much. In winter, when temperatures are low, Money Tree is not cold-tolerant; once it is watered too much, water easily accumulates and the roots rot, and the Money Tree will turn yellow and die! Absolutely do not overwater it!
Bottle Palm
Bottle Palm has a large tuber, with a very strong water-storage capacity - it will not die even without water for half a year. Generally, watering 1-2 times a month is enough. In autumn and winter, as temperatures gradually drop, reduce the watering frequency and amount appropriately.
Desert Rose
Desert Rose is a caudex plant with a strong water-storage capacity, and generally it will not die even without water for a month. In spring, summer and autumn, water twice a month; in winter, water once a month or stop watering. When in full bloom it is extremely striking!
